With the arrival of spring, there's a change in the air, inviting us to renew not only our wardrobe but also our fragrance selection. This season offers us an opportunity to leave behind stronger, more enveloping scents and embrace lighter, fresher, and floral ones that awaken our senses after the winter lethargy, reflecting the lush spirit of awakening nature. The desire to contribute is also fueled by PerfumeTok, a branch of TikTok, making fragrance accessible to Gen Z, entertaining and engaging at the same time. For centuries, spring has been considered a period of rebirth, and the reason is clear to almost everyone: just step outside, smell the air, and look at the sky.
The Power of Scent: Aromatherapy
A fragrance has the power to enchant us with its trail, transport us to our most nostalgic memories, soothe or excite our senses. That's why there's a whole branch of alternative medicine called aromatherapy, using essential oils to promote well-being throughout the body, both physically and emotionally. Selena Gomez and Rare Beauty know this well, hence they've created a relaxing roll-on with essential oils, featuring an intoxicating fragrance of peppermint and lavender. This applies to spring fragrances for both body and home, tinted with green and stealing the scent of flowers and the rejuvenating nature, making us want to step out and blossom.
Choosing a Spring Perfume
Classic spring notes include bergamot, lemon, mandarin, and romantic floral notes like iris, jasmine, and rose. Although spring perfumes tend to be lighter, our environment, diet, and even the weather can influence how the skin wears fragrance—how long it lasts and how potent it can be. Here are some perfume suggestions to try for the season, divided into floral, fruity, and even for home.
Olene - Diptyque

Olene leads to the discovery of a garden at dusk, with an intense aroma of flowers releasing their essence after being under the sun's rays all day. It's an intoxicating yet light fragrance, akin to carrying a bouquet of freshly picked flowers.

The Maison Margiela eau de toilette Springtime in a Park is part of the Replica collection, which draws inspiration from memories of various places and moments. In the case of this perfume, it's springtime in a blooming park in Shanghai. First, juicy pear, citrusy notes of bergamot, and blackcurrant chords develop. Then, lily of the valley, jasmine, and damask rose take center stage. Let's not forget that in spring, besides flowers, fruits also begin to emerge. Fruity fragrances offer a sense of vitality, evoke richness in nature, are light and vibrant, creating an optimistic and joyful atmosphere ideal for this season.

Pear Inc. - Juliette has a gun
Pear Inc. - Juliette has a gun
66,50€
Among fruity fragrances for spring, pear-based ones have long been a rarity. Despite its moisturizing properties, this vitamin C-rich fruit is composed of 85% water, making it particularly challenging to extract its odor molecules naturally. But among niche fruity fragrances, there's one that has captured the audience with a rare and revitalizing green pear. "I imagined a refreshing fragrance, with a gourmand touch," explains Romano Ricci, who created it. "A musky and fruity perfume, enhanced by ambroxan and pear." It's no coincidence that even the bottle of Pear Inc. by Juliette has a Gun, with its intense and brilliant green, merges the color of the pear's skin with that of its lush leaves.
Luce - Olfattiva

It's a relaxing perfume that thanks to cedar creates a luminous harmony, contrasting fears and nervousness. It awakens awareness of personal talents and potential, and is akin to aromatherapy. Mandarin is effective in states of tension or restlessness. It brings serenity and joy, helping to rediscover simple things with the enthusiasm and wonder typical of children.
